§ 3.07. Prohibitions.

(a) Appointment and removals. Neither the commission nor any of its members shall in any manner dictate the appointment or removal of any city administrative officers or employees whom the manager or the manager's subordinates are empowered to appoint, but the commission may express its views and fully and freely discuss with the manager anything pertaining to appointment and removal of such officers and employees.

(b) Interference with administration. The commission and its members shall deal with the city officers and employees who are subject to the direction and supervision of the manager solely through the manager, and neither the commission nor any member thereof shall give orders to, nor make requests of, any of the subordinates of the city manager either publicly or privately. Any such dictation, order, requests, or other interferences upon the part of a member of the city commission with the administration of the city shall constitute grounds for recall of such commission member.

(c) Holding other office. No former elected city official shall hold any compensated, appointive city office or employment until one year after the expiration of the term for which that official was elected.
